POTATO CHARACTER.
Sign of Good Keeping and Good Cook
ing Quality.
The characteristics of potatoes as to
keeping quality and general excellence
become very apparent about this time
of year and should be borne In mind
hen the question of seed for another
crop conies up.
Potatoes of a corky appearance or
touch are usually preferred to the
smooth and clear skinned tubers. Thin
appearance or touch Is In some In
stances m variety characteristic, but tn

general It indicates a degree of matu
rity or development which promises
good cooking quality. On the other
band, the potatoes of smooth and clear
skin are oftentimes excessively wa
tery or Immature.
The presence of lentlcels that Is,
bodies of cells which during growth
enlarge and rupture the sklu Is not ob
jectionable, for they usually Indicate
normal growth and development In a
healthy environment
In an Investigation of the quality of
potatoes carried on by J. W. CUniore
at the New York Cornell experiment
station parts considered in the physical
' examination were the surface or skin,
the cortical layer or portion Immedi
ately under the skin and varying from
.1 to J6 inch In thickness, the external
medullary area that is, the main
starchy part of the tuber and the in
ternal medullary area or central por
tion of the potato, which often branches
Into the external medullary area and Is
more or less translucent on account of
Its high moisture content
As regards the skin. It was noted that
uneven tubers with deep eyes were un
desirable for market, while a netted
akin Indicated maturity and, as a gen
eral rule, good quality. A smooth skin
indicated Immaturity, and hence poor
keeping quality and a tendency toward
undesirable Savor. Scabby potatoes
were often mealy and of good color,
but undesirable from the market stand
point Tubers which had grown in
part exposed to the air were heavy and
sogcy wheu cooked and of poor color
and undesirable flavor.
In general It was found that when
the cortical layer is thick and dense
the tubers are of poor quality, and this
condition is sn Indication that they
grew near the surface, where the tem
perature and moisture conditions were
more variable than deeMr in the soil.
A uniform external modiillnry area In
dicates an even distribution of starch
cells and of starch grains within the
cell. When this layer is not uniform
it is an Indication that the starch cells
are unevenly distributed and Inter
spersed with watery areas. A large
A Commission Man's Views For the
Benefit ef Producers.
By II. W00D3 nODiN30N. Chicago.
Many a man U we;iriug patches on
his pants who would be In good shape
financially today were It not for the
fact that lie tuudo the mistake of con
signing his cuttle to an Irresponsible
commission firm.
A moo c-iii lid us out his shingle and
go Into the commission business with
Icjs money mid less brains than any
other business lu the world, for there
are nlwa.vs u lot of "suckers" who will
patrontee him.
Most commission men In the live
stock business are honest upright and
O. K. financially, but "there are black
sheep in all flocks" is an old saying
and very true, so take the time to look
up the commission man financially, and
if you find lilm right then go ahead.
In handling live stock perhaps more
than in any other line of business a
man must be alive to the situation and
ready to take advantage of every point
which will aid him in making a suc
cess of the business.
In connection with this I am remind
ed of a story which ia told of the old
fashioned horse doctor who told his
assistant to administer powdered bo
rax to a horse by blowing it down his
throat through a tube. Later, when the
old doctor arrived on the scene, he
found the assistant choking and spit
ting in an unseemly manner and on in
quiry was Informed that the horse
blew first
Equally so In the live stock business
is misfortune apt to come to him who
allows the other fellow to blow first
Don't Tie Up the 8lmn.
One other vital point I wish to- call
your attention to. Don't put any
strings on your commission roan. If be
who is on the market every day does
not know more than you, when you do
not go on the market more than three
or four times a year If be does not
know bow to handle It in every way
to get you the "high dollar" and when
to cut loose, be is not the man to ship
to, for you pay him for knowing more
than you do, and if be does not It Is
time to bunt another salesman.
Don't tell him to water your stock at

It is remarkable how rapidly a sup
lily of grain may be built up from a
single four or Ave pound sample. Take,
for example, a four pound sample of
oats. This with ordinary care will
f.uully produce on the average about
four bushels. This sown the next sea
son on two acres of land will, at a very
moderate estimate, give 100 nnd some
times upward of 200 bushels. Taking
the lower figure as the basis for this
calculation, the crop at tho end of the
second year would be sufllclent to sow
fifty acres, which at the same moder
ate computation would furnish 2,500
bushels as avulluble for seed or sale
